With the node-async 3.2.6+dfsg-* upload, libjs-async has disappeared
from unstable, and once it migrates to testing, it will be gone from
testing too.  Please can this lintian warning be updated to refer to
node-async instead of libjs-async (and node-async itself should
presumably have an override in lintian for this warning).

Hi,

Thanks for opening this bug. I'm not sure recommending people use node-async is the right thing to do?

libjs-async provided /usr/share/javascript/async/async.js and /usr/share/javascript/async/async.min.js, which is not provided by node-async itself.

I'm not very familiar with the JS ecosystem, but it seems a package maintainer that would want to replace an embedded copy of async.js thus couldn't use the new package.

Maybe we could just drop the recommendation altogether?

Happy to make the change you propose if I'm wrong though.

Cheers,
